Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications
Description:
Learn the ins and outs of soil mechanics and foundation engineering
This straightforward textbook shows how soil mechanics methods can be applied to solve real-world problems in geotechnical and foundation engineering. Presented in a succinct and engaging manner by a professional engineer and experienced author, this hands-on, well-illustrated resource enables you to absorb the critical points in a short time.
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications starts with the basics, assuming no prior knowledge, and gradually proceeds to more advanced topics. You will get clear discussions on soil classification and compaction, consolidation, shear strength, site investigation, foundations, and much more. Every chapter starts with simple problems and builds in complexity to solve problems encountered in the field by practicing engineers.
